Following a dynamic week of upsets in NCAA basketball betting a week in which the leading 4 teams tumbled, the No. 5 five squad in the country, the Duke Blue Devils, has regained the number one, a location that they last hosted on January 10, 2011, before a loss to Florida State. The Kansas Jayhawks tumbled to No. 2 despite a huge 18- point loss to Kansas St. on the road. The remainder of the top 5 is rounded out by Ohio St. at No. 3, San Diego St. at No. 4, and Texas at No. 5.
The Blue Devils got 19 of a possible 31 votes in the AP poll; Nonetheless, others in the top 5 furthermore earned votes for the No. 1 spot. Ohio St, Pittsburgh, San Diego St., and Kansas, furthermore got significant attention by pollsters.
Maybe the biggest story that has arisen from the rubble of this week’s top 5 destruction concerns the former No. 1 Jayhawks. Following their demoralizing 18- point loss to their in-state and conference rival, Kansas State, the Kansas Jayhawks also declared the suspension of their starting junior guard Tyshawn Taylor. Head coach Bill Self announced Monday that Taylor would be suspended forever for violating squad rules. Self didn’t specify the nature of the violations, simply commenting,” Even though we are let down in Tyshawn, he’ll continue to be a member of our team and practice with our team until he is reinstated for contest.”
The suspension might not come at a more inopportune time in NCAA basketball gambling for the Jayhawks who are chasing the Texas Longhorns for a conference title with only 4 games outstanding in conference play. Taylor was averaging 8.8 pts. per match, but even more important, he was handing out almost 5 assists per match, 2nd in the Big-12 Conference. This supension, which isn’t the first team suspension of the year, makes enthusiasts wonder if a run for a national title is possible with a lot of off-the-court distractions.
